Amstel Lodge #12
Wederikstraat 2, , , , 2203EX

The Amstel Lodge is the twelfth Lodge founded in the Netherlands, more than 100 years ago. The Lodge is having a hard time due to a low membership (8) and will therefore probably stop its activities soon. The Amstel Lodge was in Amsterdam for a long time and then sought salvation at a friendly Lodge in Krommenie. It has not been possible to attract new members. The current chairman is Br. Jim van Lawick is also a member of the Grand Lodge in the kingdoms of the Netherlands and Belgium.
